The Problem with Sin - What Went Wrong and Why It Matters

We don’t like to talk about sin. But Romans starts there for a reason.

Before we can understand grace, freedom, or salvation, we must first face an uncomfortable truth: something in us is broken. Sin doesn’t just affect our behavior—it distorts our worship, clouds our thinking, and quietly pulls us away from God.

In this opening message, we explore how humanity traded the Creator for lesser things and how that same struggle still plays out in our lives today. Why do we keep choosing what ultimately leaves us empty? Why does sin feel powerful—even when we know better?

This week sets the foundation for the entire series. It’s not about shame—it’s about clarity. Because until we understand the problem, we’ll never fully appreciate the cure.
